The Europa League, which is Europe's secondary club football tournament, has a passionate following. Most games take place on Thursdays, except for the final, which is sometimes played on a Wednesday. Some major outright Europa League odds you can bet on are the ‘League Stage Winner', ‘Top 2’, and ‘Winner'.
Since 2021, a third-tier competition, called the Conference League has been organised for eligible teams in Europe. It's another great opportunity to test your prediction skills, as 36 teams compete in six matches each. We cover these games and offer competitive Conference League odds on the “Winner” market.
The Champion’s League (UCL) is the biggest competition to watch out for and we provide good-value Champions League odds on the winner and top goalscorer markets.
How to Bet on Football
If you're looking for the best odds, we have a diverse selection of markets for you. The most popular ones are:
Correct Score
In this market, you predict the exact score you expect in the football match. For experienced bettors, it's easy to figure out, but beginners need to study the team histories to make more accurate predictions.
Total Goals (Over/Under)
In over/under markets, we’ll set a predetermined number of goals, and you'll predict whether the final tally will be higher or lower. Some of the most popular options you'll come across are over/under 2.5 goals, over/under 1.5 goals, and even over/under 3.5 goals.
Match Winner/Result
When you place a match winner bet, you simply wager on the team you expect to win or if the game will end in a draw. For new bettors looking for simple markets, the match winner option is ideal.
Football Betting Tips and Strategies
Before placing your first bet on football, there are specific strategies to consider to improve your winning chances. Below are helpful tips that will help you bet smarter at ArcticBet:
Study the Statistics
Don't overlook any information about the teams competing in the game. Your wagers will stand a better chance of being successful when you study the head-to-head records and recent changes in the starting lineup.
Only Bet With Disposable Funds
Winning your predictions is based mainly on luck. Before placing your bet, ensure the stake amount is within a reasonable limit. For the safest bet, use less than 10% of your total bankroll for each wager.
Bet With Your Head
Your favourite team may not be in the best position to win a match. If the opponent stands a better chance of winning, considering the stats, then that's where your money should go.
